From the Pastor

Happy Mother's Day We extend to all mothers our love and gratitude for their never-ending and selfless love and care they show us. In this beautiful world there is nothing more cherished, no duty more honorable, no responsibility more sacred, no task more difficult, than that of motherhood. God bless all of our mothers in ways only He can for many blessed and happy years! May the souls of our loving departed mothers be granted eternal peace with Jesus Christ! Нехай Господь благословляє всіх наших матерів лише Йому відомими шляхами на многії і благії літа! STANDING We stand in church on Sundays in celebration of the Resurrection and also on great holidays to acknowledge that Christ has redeemed and saved us by His Blood. We acknowledge and accept this salvation by standing as freed men and women in His presence. Hence, it is contrary to our tradition to kneel on Sundays and from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday (June 9, 2019). During the consecration and the invocation of the Holy Spirit, we make a profound bow — a bow at the waist — as a sign of reverence. СТОЯТИ Стоїмо у церкві по неділях у святкуванні Воскресіння, а також у великі свята, щоб визнати, що Христос викупив нас своєю кров’ю. Ми визнаємо і приймаємо це спасіння стоячи, як вільні чоловіки і жінки, в Його присутності. Протилежно до нашої традиції клякати, заповідаємо стояти від неділі Пасхи до вечора неділі Зіслання св. Духа (9-го червня, 2019) Під час освячення і призивання Святого Духа, ми робимо глибокий уклін – поклін в пояс – як знак шанобливости. SVITLYCHKA GRADUATION Svitlychka—Ukrainian Pre-School sponsored by the Ukrainian Women’s league of America Branch 120 will hold its moving up graduation ceremonies on Saturday, May 17, 2019 at 11:00a.m. in the School Auditorium.
